You Got Anything Stronger?

<p><strong><em>You Got Anything Stronger?</em> continues the project of unshackling. It's soul-baring work. - <em>The Washington Post</em></strong></p><p><em>So. Where were we? Right you and I left off in October 2017.</em></p><p>When I released <em>We're Going to Need More Wine</em> the response was so great people asked when I would do a sequel. Frankly after being so open and honest in my writing I wasn't sure there was more of me I was ready to share. But life happens with all its plot twists. And new stories demand to be told.</p><p>A lot has changed in four years--I became a mom to two amazing girls. My husband retired. My career has expanded so that I have the opportunity to lift up other voices that need to be heard. But the world has also shown us that we have a lot we still have to fight for--as women as black women as mothers as aging women as human beings as friends. In <em>You Got Anything Stronger? </em>I show you how this ever-changing life presents challenges even as it gives me moments of pure joy. I take you on a girl's night at Chateau Marmont and I also talk to Isis my character from <em>Bring It On</em>. For the first time I truly open up about my surrogacy journey and the birth of Kaavia James Union Wade. And I take on racist institutions and practices in the entertainment industry asking for equality and real accountability. <em>You Got Anything Stronger?</em> is me at my most vulnerable.</p>
